DIARY OF SULTAN AHMAD - Omar

The objective of this thesis is to establish what can be learnt from the diary of Sultan Ahmad as-Salleh about the politics, economy, society and culture of the Kingdom of Boné from 1775 to 1795. Sultan Ahmad as-Salleh’s diary is one of the ten Bugis diaries held in the British Library. None of these diaries has ever been examined by a historian. Together they offer a remarkable, untapped wealth of information on life and politics at the court of Boné, the most powerful and important of the Bugis kingdoms of South Sulawesi in the eighteenth centuryDownload di sini
